Traci Renee Moon, of Franklin, passed away surrounded by family at The Caring Place on December 29, 2024. She bravely fought a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease and is now at peace.
Born in Franklin on September 13, 1968, Traci was the beloved daughter of Kenneth Shull and Esther Shull.
She graduated from Rocky Grove Jr./Sr. High School in 1986. Traci attended Slippery Rock University where she studied psychology. After college, Traci worked in management roles at Big Lots and Shop ‘N Save in Franklin.
On October 29, 1992, she married the absolute love of her life, Kevin Moon, and they lived in Cooperstown then in Franklin, PA. Traci was a woman of many passions and had the kindest heart. She had a deep love for animals and couldn’t leave the Humane Society without wanting to take them all home. Traci also was a beautiful singer and loved singing Stevie Nicks or anything 80’s. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially playing putt-putt golf with her husband and daughter. Family gatherings were always entertaining with her quick wit and infectious laugh.
She found joy in the little things – spending Saturday’s cleaning while watching the cheesiest movies on the Sci-Fi channel, girl’s breakfasts with her daughter, mother, and sister and going on day trips with her husband.
Traci is survived by her husband, Kevin Moon of Franklin; her daughter Taylor Meyer and her husband, Michael, of Cooperstown; her father, Kenneth Shull of Franklin and her mother Esther Shull of Franklin; her sister Melissa Spence and her husband, John, of Cooperstown. Also surviving are her mother-in-law Ruby Stiver and her husband, Lou, of Polk; her sisters-in-law Cindy Kober of South Carolina, Carrie Wright and her husband, Trevor, of Cranberry; her brothers-in-law Robert Moon and his wife, Pam, of Polk and Rusty Moon and his wife, Connie, of Cooperstown; and many nieces, nephews, friends, and former coworkers.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents Alfred and Elsie Shull; her maternal grandparents William Best and Jane Ramsey (Raisin); and her father-in-law Robert Moon and his wife, Erma Palmer.
Though her presence will be deeply missed, her love and laughter will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her.

I was saddened to read about Traci’s illness and passing. I remember Traci from her days at Rocky Grove High School… she was a hard-working student who was friendly, kind, caring, and thoughtful. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad and difficult time. Wishing you comfort and peace as you remember the happy times you shared…

Kevin, I am so sorry for the loss of Traci. My prayers are with you!
Love and prayers, Brenda (Fike) McCool
Traci was like a sister to me during our high school years. I pretty much lived at her house for 2-3 years. I can honestly say that I would not be the person I am today if I’d have never known her. She was always ready for an adventure, and we had many! When bad things happened, Traci would bounce back with a plan and a smile. My deepest sympathy for her family. The last couple years have been a hard road. Through it all though, Traci never lost her genuine love for her family or her smile. The world lost a beautiful voice and a beautiful smile, but the echos of Traci’s life will last for generations.
Thank you Kevin for being such a loving, devoted husband to her. The two of you were true soul mates. Find peace in knowing she is now whole again and will watch over you always.
